That brings back memories of someone copying my leader factbook whole and changed some names. That was back in 2017, my factbooks were not even good.

I've seen people who nick characters wholesale off some popular anime, personality included. I mean by ye Gods...

It’s particularly egregious when they nab a picture of said anime character to go along with it

Ah yes... I think a couple of years ago, there were some nation with barebone factbooks with "Emperor Naruto" or something as leaders. It was tacky, for the lack of a better word.

Be that as it may, regions with MLP nations are there, they just don't actively participate here in the RP forum (much to my chagrin).

I wouldn’t be opposed to it, as long as magic were used reasonably.

Oh well, at least I was able to interact with human nations as well. And if I ever have to deal with a RP in the world I can always rely on a cenonic anecdote on the show.
The problem is that not everyone is willing to deal with Communist colored horses or non-human beings in general. And in an OOC sense.

Or military equipment. I've seen that in II, with comical results.

I dunno, I think it would be a zesty change of pace

The particularly woeful thing is they probably thought they were being cool

That's a cliche that we... kind of fall into? Yeah, we may be pretty good in the tech department despite being an island nation, but that's A. pretty much entirely military technology, and B. how it came to be is explained quite a lot in our history, so I don't think much of it.

I actually take a lot of pride into trying to justify several of LP's actions and history based on it's role as an island. I've spent some time thinking about it's problems:

Those are some pretty good ideas too. I just wanted to have it where a mage's willpower allowed her to grow wings and become a harpy or something.

I've never seen or read of that mechanism before, ngl.

My attack: missile go whoosh. CIWS go brrr.
Their attack: an entire Wikipedia page worth of jargon, technical specifications and highly detailed play by play of how everything works.

Nah, not that. I mean... I don't think so? I have never seen nations getting a copyright-strike.

I'm just paranoid, and also because I want to give credit to the best of my ability. ♥

This is why I just use all real world equipment so if people need to know its capabilities they can just refer to the Wikipedia article. No derailing the thread to stat wank.

Unironic point: Half the bitchfests in II wars are due to people coming in with a wanking competition in mind rather than seeing it as cooperative writing.

Back in 2016 or so, some random deviantart guy forced the Moderation team to delete one of my old nation's factbooks (or clear it? i dont remember) because it had his art without citation. Giving credit is good and all, but it begs the question of if they just sit on Google Images and search all their shit over and over again.
